6–9 Sept 2011
Mont Sainte Odile
Europe/Zurich timezone
The purpose of the workshop is to bring together people working in the design of ultra-light vertex and tracking detectors based on monolithic pixel sensors, namely CMOS Pixel Sensors.
The workshop will address topics of sensor R&D and sensor integration, namely the design of ultra-light ladders, cooling, related DAQ and FEE. Moreover, questions of radiation tolerance and device simulation may be discussed.
One session concludes the EU-FP7 HadronPhysics2 research activity "Ultra-light silicon tracking and vertex detection systems" (http://hadronphysics2.eu, http://ulisi-wiki.gsi.de).
The workshop should serve to exchange experiences and to search for synergies between the different vertex detector projects as carried out for example at CBM and STAR. It will take place at the monastery at the Mont Sainte-Odile close to Strasbourg / France.
